I sat in the office, going through the piles of papers that had been stuck on the desk for me in the last few days that I was gone. I sighed, feeling overwhelmed and hating that I suggested that we had this party. It was mostly more suggestions from pack members and requests.I opened the mind link and contacted Ava. At first, she was hesitant, but I knew she had no way to fight the luna aura that would immediately possess her. "Can you come to the pack house, the office?""Yes, Luna," she immediately responded.I had left the room while Alpha went out with my mom and Clarion to get some things for the pack. My mind wavered towards Savanna for a second, and I wondered if she was doing okay. I knew I shouldn't care about her, but I already beat her enough to the point where I was satisfied. But a part of me could not help but wonder if her child was safe for her to have done something like that. I felt it was desperation of a mother. I mean, my mom literally brought me to this pack not
"I wouldn't mind, to be honest." Alpha quickly called back. "Alpha.""Alright," he sighed, giving up in defeat. "Why don't you wait for me to come back, then we can go together?""We will be fine, Alpha. Relax.""Okay, I have to go now. Everybody is wondering why I'm not focused on the meeting. I'm trying my best to be attentive, but you know you easily take all of my attention."I almost laughed at his comment. "OK, I love you, and I'll see you tonight.""So where's Dexter going to get a car from?" I focused my attention back on Ava after ending the mindlink. "I don't think we're even allowed to own cars in here. I mean, I barely see wolves owning phones.""Dexter is one of the people that study in the college dominated by humans, so I'm pretty sure he has access and permission to drive a car.""Oh.""Yeah, he's studying to be a doctor, which is a very useful occupation when it comes to the pack, so it's very encouraged."I smirked at her. "You speak so highly of Dexter. Are you sur
I bumped into Ari and Sam on my way to a second dressing room. “Oh, we were just going to wait in front of the dressing room we agreed to, but we got you the best outfit ever.”I stared at their hands that were packed full with dresses and raised one eyebrow. “Um, which one of these is the outfit?”“I guess we just have to find out.” Sam clapped her hands, “but I’m certain they’ll all be flattering on you. She looked over my shoulder, frowning a little. Where’s Ava?”“Yeah, she’s busy looking through some things with Dexter. No worries, she’ll join us. Come on.” I headed to the dressing room, and they came after me, shrugging their shoulders without thinking so much of Dexter and Ava.I handed the pieces of clothes I had found and picked out to Sam while trying on the pieces they had selected for me. The first one was a red gown that seemed like it was made for my body. It was perfect with shiny stones, thin straps, and it hugged my curves in all the right ways. The only problem was t
Alpha groaned in his sleep as I pulled out the drawers to try to find my makeup items."Can you be more quiet?" He requested in a gentle tone."Sorry," I said, grabbing a few of my makeup purses and heading back to my old room so I could give him more time to sleep. I knew the event was by seven, but there was no way I would be ready if I started thirty minutes before that.I had barely sat in front of the dressing mirror when my mum walked into the room carrying a few bags with her.“Mum, what brings you here? I didn't expect to see you this early in the morning.""I figured you would want to get ready earlier, so I brought you some things to eat," she said with a smile.We hadn't fully discussed since I told her about the child. “Oh, thank you, you really didn't have to bother.""Do you feel okay?"I chuckled. "Mum, I'm fine. You're acting like I'm the first person to get pregnant. Relax."She went to stand behind me to assist with my hair, brushing it up while I put on some makeup.
"Oh my goodness, what are you doing here?" He was the last person I expected to see. I had completely forgotten about Cole; it was almost like he had been erased from my memory with everything else to do back with my old pack."Wow, you look so amazing," I told him, breaking out of my thoughts."I was just about to say the exact same thing about you. You look spectacular. Wow, after the attacks and everything went crazy, I contacted my aunt. She is a member of this pack because she married her husband, who is related to the alpha of the pack. So, they let me move in. They took me in as a pack member. I came here with my mom, and I've been here ever since. What about you?""Well, I also moved to a pack, Darkblood Park.""What? No way. I heard they never accept any wolf into their pack. They are the most secure pack in the territory.""Yeah, I'm the luna of that pack now.""What?! There's no way, you're kidding!""I'm absolutely not.""Wow, it's so good to see you again.""Really good t
Friday came a lot sooner than I had expected.It felt like a lot, knowing that the long-awaited game night was finally tomorrow.I had spent a lot of my time planning with Ava, Ari, and Sam. I had decided to set the three of them up as my planning committee, discarding the rest of the people that had volunteered in the first place."All right, Luna, let's go through all of the planning for tomorrow just to be certain that nothing goes wrong," Sam suggested, holding out a list that I had given to her.It wasn't even that hot in the office, but I was sweating from how stressed I was.I nodded in agreement."First of all, we are going to introduce all the packs that are present. After that, we'll section the activities into youth, grown adults, and like you said, some people will be there to guide the children so they can have fun while involving themselves in children’s games," Sam read out."Okay, and Ava, are you certain that everyone got the invitation? Did anybody turn anything down
The next day, most of our guests started to show up in the morning. I didn't think about how I would have to greet each and every single one of them individually. I had a smile plastered on my face the entire day, to the point where my cheeks started to hurt, but I had to keep it up. Thankfully, Alpha was there to assist me. Most of the packs kept singing praises of how privileged they were to be invited to the sacred Dark Bloodpack for such an event, and I truly felt on top of the world with all of their compliments, but still.I was in a casual sweatshirt and denim shorts, sitting in the events room to check how things were going with the girls when Alpha pulled my hand and led me behind one of the walls of the packhouse. There was barely any space, so I was basically pressed against his chest while he had his hands pinned above my head."You're stressing yourself too much for my liking. Don't you have people that can do these things for you?" he asked. "You’re Luna, for a reason. Y
I immediately pushed Cole away from me and turned to face Alpha. "It's not what it looks like at all, I promise."I was yet to process it myself, but I just wanted to defend whatever thought he could be happening.I expected him to go on and start throwing punches at Cole, but instead, he turned around and walked away from us. It was the first time I would see him react that easily to someone kissing me. And it was even annoying to think that this was not the first time it was happening.I immediately tried to follow him, attempting to grab his wrist, but he avoided my touch."Alpha, I..." He put his hand up to stop me from talking and just continued to walk away.I stood there, in shock, and then frowned deeply. I turned around to look at Cole , and he was scratching the back of his neck nervously. "I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's probably the alcohol-"Not giving him a chance to finish explaining himself, I slapped him hard across the face. "Have you lost your d
Andrea began to walk out of the pack house, and I trailed along behind her, trying my best not to be seen.I watched as She scurried past bushes, and the moment she was getting further away from the pack house, she began to pick up her pace.As if she sensed that someone was following her, so it was hard to keep up with her because it was still a little bit dark. it was barely seven in the morning, and the sun had still not risen. I tried to dodge all the branches, tall grass,as I made my way after her.She stopped in front of a small shack and stepped in. I watched from afar, hidden from any view. Why else would she be in a small shop with my alpha? I swallowed a lump that grew in my throat. It better not be what I was thinking It was.I opened the door slowly. It was dark. "Hello," I called into the darkness. All of a sudden, all the lights flickered on, and I heard a huge confetti sound.I put my hands over my ears, flinching from the fear that came with it. I looked around and saw
I headed back to the pack house all by myself and decided to think nothing of it.I hoped that if Andrea would come back to me and explain the situation, maybe I wouldn't have to be so worried. I stayed in the living room, pacing back and forth and waiting for her to show up. When she began to not, I decided to engage myself in something else, I went back to the office and decided to look through the papers that I wasn't done with. After an hour had passed, I left the office and saw Andrea walking into the pack house."Hey," I said. "I thought You were going to be at Ava's place.""Yeah," i replied. "Turned out that she wasn't home, so I came to the pack almost immediately, and you weren't here. I thought we could have hung out and watched some movies together. Where did you go?""I just had to quickly deal with something." I closed my eyes, started mumbling under my breath, and internally hoped that she should confess and say that she was. But she didn't. I nodded at l her. “Oka
Three months laterAndrea walked into the office where I was busy looking through the paperwork for Alpha so that he wouldn't have to do it so much. I looked up at her and broke into a smile. "If it is not my favorite friend," I said. She smiled back at me, a smile creeping up her lips. She folded her arms across her chest. "What about your dad?”"He's been at your mom's place, like at this point is tiring me out," she chuckled. "Like if you guys want to be together, just say that's something. Why are you wasting our time? Like bro, my younger brothers have been asking me and I have no idea what to tell them.”“Really.” “Yeah.""So I'm going over there to call him back home. I hope he remembers that he has children," I closed the book in front of me. "Well then I'm coming with you because I really want to see my mum too. I have a few things I want to discuss with her.""Okay then, no problem," she said.As we walked to my mom's place, hand in hand, she interlocked her hands with m
I woke up the next morning to snuggly kisses from Alpha. I said in his sleepy voice. “Shouldn't you still be resting after everything that has happened?" He smiled at me. "Why? When I have everything I need here? Get ready. We're going out today." That got me to open my eyes. "Where are we going?"I raised my eyebrow at him. "You just have to find out, my love.”“then you shouldn't have told me. You know how curious I can get." "It's no big deal," he chuckled. "I'm just pulling your leg. I actually just want us to go out and have fun together. Do you know the entire time I was in the middle of the war? The only thing I was thinking about was you. And if you were doing fine, I swear you've taken full control of my mind and body at this point." I couldn't help but laugh at him. "I got my feet all right, I’ll get dressed!"Alpha and I wore matching clothes. I wore a white crop top and jean shorts. He wore a white tank top and jean shorts. He put his hair in a bun, just how I liked
Immediately, he fell forward in my hand. I began to scream, panicking in fear. I tried to balance him on the floor.He was too heavy for me to lift by myself. "Mum," I cried, hoping for whoever was around to come in.My mum immediately ran inside, and surprisingly, Carl tagged along with her. "What's wrong?" "I don't know, he suddenly lost balance.” I cried.My mom immediately tried to check for his pulse. "What's wrong with him? Why is he not breathing?" I asked.She pointed at the floor. "Don't worry, I will fix things. Just get the pack physician," she said. I jerked to my feet, going to do as instructed, immediately wiping my tears with the back of my hand In panic, I was so lost and confused."What happened?!”“I don't understand," I told Andrea as she raced by my side, trying to catch up with me. "Where are you going?""I don't know," I raised my voice after, “I’m clearly as confused as you as you can see, I just want Alpha to be fine." I continued to cry. She didn't say an
We got to Ava's place, and she was happy to see me at the door. She looked confused when she saw Andrea and stared at me, waiting for some sort of explanation."Oh yeah, this is Andrea. She's a new pack member.”“She doesn't smell like she's a part of our pack." She raised an eyebrow."Yeah, that is why I said she's a new pack member.""Ohh, it's nice to see you. What brings you guys here?" Then she realized that the whole thing with Alpha had happened, and then she raised her eyebrows at me. "Oh my goodness, that must be so insensitive of me to ask. I know that Alpha has gone off to war. I can't even imagine how you are dealing with things right now." She tugged my hand and pulled me into the room. "Come on, settle in."Andrea looked around Ava's place. "This is a nice place you've got. And yeah, she did want to come here to get his mind off things because she's been so worried, like Alpha is going to lose the battle or something." Andrea rolled her eyes.I didn't understand why she
I assisted Alpha to pack his things that he would need for the war, and when it was time for him to leave, I found myself sitting on the bed, burying my face in my hands and crying.He hurried to my side and crouched in front of me, he wiped my tears off with the pad of his thumb. In my seated position, I threw my arms around him and wailed against his shoulder."Why are you crying so much?""I don't want anything to happen to you."He pulled away from my embrace. "I just assured you that I'd be fine. Just trust me, okay?"I nodded at his words. Even though I found myself not believing him, it didn't seem like a reality until I saw him and the rest of the warriors with his bag slung over his shoulder as he prepared to leave the pack for war.I held my chest tightly. There is no way anyone could defeat my Alpha. He was the best. I knew it, but I didn't know why I was so scared. Things were finally going fine . The last thing I wanted was for it to be jinxed.I wanted to find my mum alm
At first, I was confused. Then I turned to look at Alpha; he shook his head. 'I'm sorry, I can't do that.'She immediately stepped forward, going on her knees and holding his feet. 'Please, you have to take us in. Look, that's my youngest brother, and he's really sick.' She pointed at the child in her father's hands. 'If we don't find shelter now, I don't think he can make it. Please, I beg you, we will do anything you ask us to do. I can sense that you're the alpha of the pack, please.'Seeing alphas reluctance she added, 'My dad himself was a trained warrior before everything came crashing down. It would be very helpful to the pack's growth. Don't deny us access, and I'm begging you with everything.'she began to shed tears. She was looking like she was about my age, and I felt the pain. When I saw her dad's face, it reminded me of my mum and how desperate she was the first time we left.I turned to Alpha, tugging his shirt. ‘please, just take them in. I feel like there is enough
The next morning, when we woke up, I rolled into Alpha's arms."Hey, did you sleep very well?" I asked him. He nodded. "Yeah, I did. Especially when you are here by my side.” “So, what do you want to have for breakfast? I don't know. I want to have you. It's you." "Stop. Be for real?" I chuckled. I hid my laughter behind my hand."I don't know. I'm not really hungry. I just want us to eat.""Are you ready to leave for the pack house?""Yeah, but we can't go unless we see Shayla first. I need to say my proper goodbye before I disappear. I don't know when I'm going to see her again, so let's not just rush to leave, right?""Okay?" He nodded and kissed my forehead."Goodness, I can't imagine the amount of work that I have to go back home to, but it's fine. We'll just settle in just as quickly as we left." I pursed my lips and nodded at him."Alright, I'll go and find something for us to eat. I should go see Shayla.""I really want to know how she’s settling in. You can hang out with J
